Communities worldwide are facing interconnected risks — climate change, pandemics, food system shocks, and urban vulnerabilities. These crises demand transformative solutions that not only protect ecosystems but also strengthen livelihoods, safeguard cities, and build resilience against future shocks.
This programme invites bold innovators to design locally grounded projects across agriculture, nutrition, urban resilience, disaster risk reduction, and technology. Three thematic challenges are at the heart of this call:
- RAIN Rural Challenge — nature‑positive agriculture for ecological and livelihood gains.
- RISE Urban Challenge — entrepreneurship solutions for informal urban settings.
- TECH4Resilience Challenge — AI‑driven tools for humanitarian preparedness and response.
Selected winners will receive funding and visibility to implement solutions over 12 months, with results showcased at COP31. Applicants must demonstrate inclusion, equity, and human rights considerations, with strong participation of women and youth.
💡 Grants available — up to USD 50,000 per project for resilience innovations.
